Ga., pitched his first trial In fast company ivhen Griff sent him In against the Ravens In the third Inning yeaterday, after the McAleertte slug ger* had hammered Clarkson to their hearts’ content In the second session. Hughes twirled five Innings for the Yankees and put up a very creditable performance. Though the Ravens an nexed four runs during Hughes’ reign the fault was not with the Georgia twlrler, for he gave the enemy hut three scanty hjts. Poor fielding behind him was respon sible for the tallies. Griffith said today that he Is Im mensely pleased with the work of Hughes and feels confident that tho ex-Bouthem Leaguer will make good.

Jnck McGuIgnn. of the National Athletle Club, Intends starting the big fights next month, mid wants Terry iih one of his cards. Abe Attell, who Is still wondering around New York with that championship belt, wns offered the nmteh yesterday, but Abo only wants u gunrnntee of $2,50 l », win, lose or draw. The Quaker matchmaker /eels that the sports like the fighting fighters, and with McGovern nnd Corbett as Ids card, in* could All the place In a half hour. Joe Humphrey*, who is watching for Ter ry’s end, has tried to get Britt, but thinks there Is no chance, as James Edward U looking for a go with either Nelson or Onns out west, where he can get a fat loser's cud. and not lose any more prestige. Should Terry knoek him out. Ft would mean Drift's pugilistic death. Should Gnns or Nelson do the trick, lie can still coinu back and get another tight before dropping off tho cliff. TRACY'S WORK FASTEST EVER New York, Sept, 19.—Many of those among the thousands who get out dally to see tlie spins of the various entrants for the elimination trials for the Vanderbilt cup race over the Vanderbilt course on the roads’ around Mlneoln have liecu elec trified nt some of the thrilling work of Joe Tracy, lie was out today as usual In the eurlv hours, tie shot ~c:nc of the longer stretches nt better than 60 miles an hour In the 9ft horsepower that has been entered by 8. T. I»nvls, Jr. Although Tracy has done the single cir cuit of the course, which Is 29 4-5 miles. In 31 minutes and 32 seconds. Ids trial per formances indicate that lie will lie aide to exceed the mark. The terrific speed that Tracy whips out of Ids machine on the stretches has been hair- raising. ATLANTA ATHLETIC CLUB MAY HIRE ALEX. SMITH Alexander Smith, undoubtedly the which will be played over’ the East Lake course in the near future. This tournament will be open only to players who have begun to piny reg ularly during 1906 and will furnish amusement for some fifteen or more players of the A. A. C. best golf player In America today and one of the best in the world, may be secured to take charge of the East Lake golf course of the Atlanta Ath letic Club for tho winter. Mr. Smith has applied for the Job and It seems more than likely that he will he secured to look after the golf course and the golfers during the win ter and until some permanent man Is secured. It would be a great stroke for the lo cal club to secure Smith. He has won practically every tournament ho has started In this year and his equal ns a player has probably never been seen In this country. GOLF NEWS. A handsome cup lias be?n offered by Ed Clapp for a "novice tournament," The extreme length of the new' East Lake course has been troubling many players and the club Is considering tho possible need of shortening some of the holes. Before any such step Is taken, however, it Is expected that several high class professionals will be brought to Atlanta to look over the course. The record of 102 strokes for the East Lake course which was made Saturday by Joseph Tilson was humped this week by P. Thornton Marye, who play ed tho long round In 100 strokes.

I/ANDY’S PROSPECTS GOOD; STRONG MATERIAL ON HAND YANKEES LOSE; CHICAGO WINS The feature of the American League games Tuesday, from a local standpoint, was the debut of Tommy Hughes, the leading pitcher of the Southern League dur ing 1906, for New York against St. Louis. Unfortunately, this debut was not a bril liant one. Clarkson and Griffith himself were also used In the game, which St. Louis won. Chicago won nguiu. of coune, defeating PMIaiJeljjt.:*^ to 0.

The new uniforms consist of Ught- elght sleeveless undershirts, running nks. which come only half way to knee, and golf stockings, which do lot reach the knee. Special to The Georgian. Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 19.—Football prospects at Vanderbilt are becoming brighter nnd tho indications are now that Dan McGugln will turn out anoth er great eleven. The Michigan coach boa had his charge out for two days, and, although school does not open un til today, nearly thirty candidates have appeared on Dudley field. With the exception of quarterback, the great backfield Is there Intact. Several heavy linemen are on hand, nnd the two positions that McGugln will have most trouble in filling will be center and quarter. Yesterday afternoon the following regulars were out for urellmlnary work: Hob Blake, All-Southern end for two years and now weighing 16S pounds; Owsley Mauler. All-Southern fullback, weighing 173; "Bonus” (John) Craig, All-Southern halfback, weigh ing 16S pounds; Joe Pritchard, the Mississippi giant, who was the choice of many experts for All-Southern tackle, and who now tips the scales at 197; Oscar Noel, the Nashville hoy, who played such sensational halfback In the Vnnderbllt-Sewanee game, weigh ing now 168 stripped; 1M. Noel, ills brother nnd a former star lineman on Bowen’s team, who weighs IKS pounds, and Dan Blake, one of the South’s greatest ground-gaining and defensive halfbacks, tipping the scales at 164 pounds. Stone, All-Southern center and guard, will be on the field In a day or so and should weigh close to 173 stripped. The above eight men are almost sure of places on the team of 1906. Several of the men Who won olaces as substi tutes: last year, are back In college, (’horn, one of the best men who ever played on a Vanderbilt scrub team, now weighs 175 |tounds. He is strong and hard as a rock. King, another good man on the second eleven. Is back, heavier than ever, weighing now 172 pounds. Sum t’osten, who played half back on the team «*f 1904 and right field on the baseball team, but who taught last year at McTyefre school. Is back In college this year and was out on the field yesterday afternoon. Sam is In good shape and will make some- j body hustle for a backfield or ejld Job. j weighs about 16*). t’rawford, an- j r fast man who played substitute backfield last season, is buck In col lege. Mcl.aln. substitute lineman on ’varsity, Is back after a strenuous and successful campaign through the Seventh congressional district of Mis- I slsslppt with his father. Congressman McLain. He weighs close to 2oa. Among th** new men out today were Mason, a < ’astie Heights recruit, and Lawler, who has attended both Bran-} ham nnd Hughes and t’astle Heights. Mason was the fastest quarterback j among th* piep;tn*4or> schools last •ca*oa us well us a brilliant track man. He runs a team well, knows the game of footbnll nnd will likely make a live ly bid for quarterback. Lawler Is n brother of "Bull” Lawler, a former Vanderbilt star at football and base ball. Vaughn Blake nnd "Spick" Hall will both be back In college this year. Vaughn Blake has filled out until he Is about ns heavy ns Dun. So far the work has been light, con sisting mostly of running, kicking and catching punts. Coach McGugln In a short while will begin to train his men on the new rules and will Instruct them regarding the vital changes that have been made and how they look to him "A great deal has been written and said concerning the new rules,” say Coach McGugln, "but not much has been said about the provision allowing a man to signal for u fair catch. The rules say that he may signal for such catch ’while approaching the ball’ by holding his rl^ht hand above his head. The question Is: when does the oppor tunity to make such catch cease; whether or not he could make suck signal after ho had got under the ball, or only when approaching. The pur pose of the signal Is evident In that It Is meant to give the ends a chance to get on the ball If the man backing the field does not Intend to make a fair catch. "I don’t see any material change, Ither, In the type of the team for this . ear. Last season little Scarborough, a light man, played great quarterback for Scwanee and Captain Innls Brown, of Vanderbilt, did the remarkable work of playing guard when only weighing 163 pounds, ami he was great. The same opportunities are presented this year." Frank Cnrsey, the Chlmgo feather, who wns aroused of quitting In his bout with AIh* Attell, nt Davenport, Inst week, de nies that he quit owing to the punishment he was receiving. Cnrsey says that there was n Job on foot to "ilo" him, nnd that he Is ready tn moot Atfrll any time nnd place outside of Davenport. Cnrsey says the conditions ,.f uie | rtst match wilt suit him. It Is very probable thnt Silver Bill Phil lips will retire from the game or, nt lenst, from tho pitcher’s l»ox. Phillips thinks he has seen his best days as a pitcher.—Bir mingham Exchange. Ho do the fans. Been thinking so for several years, though BUI pitched good ball last year. The Birmingham papers are still roast ing Billy Smith for playing a double-header Friday, nial claim flint If he had not done so Atlanta would have finished In second place. Maybe so, but It Is hard to dope those things out In advance. If Smith’s tenm had won both of those games nnd cinched sec ond place, Smith would have been a hero. As the team lost one qtune, Smith, according tS the Birmingham papers, Is n bonehead. • Th** end of the season finds the nffnlrs of the Nashville Baseball Club In bad shape. No one has been selected to head the club next season, mid just nt the time when the other teams of the league are hustling for material to start the next campaign Nash ville is Idle. Other malingers are making every effort to land her best players, and If reports be true several of the old players already been secured by rival man agers. The management should lost no time In securing a competent innuager nnd give him full authority to net without be ing hnndlen|H*d by nil executive commit The new syndicate which purchase the holdings of the old company claim to ample funds, and If such is the cane should make the fact known by strengthening the tenm before nil the good material Is gobbled up.

The Nashville association could have made no wiser move than to have secured Bobby Gllks and sola him nil Interest In the dub. He is a good manager, and would have given Nashville n winner ut a reasonable outlay. President T’bbetts, of the Brooklyn club, j Is In favor of the elimination of the foul { tty catch In order to help out butting, lie > savs that the hatter does not get an i even chance with lie* fielders on this play —that after the ball goes Into the air, i the batter lias no eliolce but to stand still 1 nnd let the eateher, first or third baseman, j or left or right fielder get the ball If they i can. When a ball Is lilt, the player Is al lowed to run for It. but on n foul fly In* Is helpless. Ebbett* would arrange It so that in* man would Is* out on a caught foul ’fly. Undoubtedly, this would lm- I prove batting somewhat, but It would just i as certainly lengthen games. Under the 1 present rules, it is expensive to knock ■ fouls, a ml fouls always delay games. .lolly’s correct name Is Hollingsworth, played In 130 games for New Orleans In 1905. lie batted .251 end singled 114 times for n total of 130 bases fn 46.1 trips to the pan. stole 3! bases nnd laid down 17 .... rlflre hits.

The practice yes terday was In the morning, the candi dates getting half a day off In tho afternoon. Some of the work tried In secret last week was repeated In pub lic. Seven men lined up and the de fensive backs were sent down the field. The play was the new forward pass. It w*as easy .to see the men were not fa miliar with the way things would go, for they were not expert In following the course of the ball, which the backs were waiting to grab as, soon an it touched the ground. Before the line-up Held punted to a row of men to teach them to become accustomed to the new rules, which puts everybody on side as soon as the ball touches the ground. He spun the ball In every direction along the ground. The size of the Harvard football squad has been Increased to .73 men, the highest point that the crimson squad has yet reached.
